"Did mt Know was
 Loaded !"

May do for a stupid boys excuse but what can be said for the parent who sees his child languishing daily and fails to recognize the want of tonic and blood-purifer? Formerly, a course of bitters, or sulphur and molasses, was the rule in well-regulated families but now all intelligent households keep Ayers Sarsaparilla, which is at once pleasant to the taste, and the most searching and effective blood medicine ever discovered. Nathan S. Cleveland, 27 E. Canton st., Boston, writes s' My daughter, now 21 years old, was in perfect health until year ago when she began to complain ot fatigue, headache, debility, dizziness, indigestion, and loss of appetite. con- cluded that all her complaints originated Ayers Sarsaparilla. This medicine soon restored her blood-making organs to healthy action, and in due time reestab- Hshed her former health. I find Ayers SarsapariIla most valuable remedy for the lassitude and debility incident to spring time.'
 J. Castright, Brooklyn Power Co.,, Brooklyn, N. Y, says "As Spring Medicine, I find splendid substitute for the old-time compounds in Ayers Sarsaparilla, with few doses of Ayers Pills. After their use, feel fresher and stronger to go through the summer Ayers SarsaparilIa,

dictate gentleman, and when asked
about the charge, he said that it was
only little squabble he had been in
up there, andIthat it didn't amount to
anything. The marshal turned him
over to Sheriff Bowers until the au-
thorities arrive from Minneapolis to
take him back to that city.
Deputy Sheriff Steve Hoffman has
been employed by Cross to guard him
until the officers arrive from Mime

Two Stables go up I'm Smoke Be
longing to Miss Marvin and
G.. G.. Taylor.

At 10 o'clock this m orning, the fire
alarm was sounded, calling out the
department to the residences of Chas.
G. Taylor, the jeweler, corner Fifth
and Massachusetts streets, and the
property of Miss Hattie Marvin, cor
ner Sixth and Massachusetts, occupi-
ed by j. NJ. Byler. The fire broke
out in the Stable belonging to Miss
Marvin, situated on the alley. In a
very short time the flames crossed the
alley and caught into Mr.. Taylor's
stable. which was filled with hay, and
made excellent food for the flames,
that shot above, and would have
reached Mr.. Taylor's residenc but for
the wide spreading shade trees be-
tween the dwelling and the burning
stable. By the time the fire depart
ment arrived the flames had gained
ample Roadway; to completely destroy
both stables, and all that could be
done was to fight the flames from
contiguous buildings. Fortunately,
the horses and carriages of both had
been taken out in the morning, and
nothing more seriOns was lost than
the stables and what feed they con-
tanned. The damage to both parties
is estimated at s400. The insurance
on Mr.. Taylor's stable is $3.50.
1t thought that the fire was caused
by the Byler family placing ashes in a
fire small colored boy was run over
by carriage and seriously injured.
The BAzoo could not learn his name.
After the crowd had left the scene
of the fire the residence of Colonel
Ritter ignited from spark on the
roof and blazed up considerably. The
department extinguished it with little
trouble.

ed just a small distance north
of the street, and q man and woman
standing.at the,opening, entreating the

est child in the world for which the
sum of ten cents was charged. 1t was

about seventeen years old and was a
monstrosity in lieu of its small size.
1t was delicate in health and has been

ed at his room. When
arrested he attempted to give a
watch to a woman who was In bis
company. The watch was secured by
the police and the crook duly landed
in jail. He proved to be the escaped
convict and is now in the Kentucky
penitentiary, serving out the remain
der of his term for burglary.
The other man who went to Cincin-
matt with Moran, was arrested the fol
lowing day as a suspect. At his
boarding house was found a valise full
of burglars and safe blowers tools.
He proved to be a man wanted at
Cadiz, Ohio, for safe blowing. He is
now in theiOhio penitentiary in stripes,
doing service for the state.
IN CONCLUSION.
Nick Moran was the man who slept
in the room with Stevens and Wade
in the Ilgen block, and it was Stew
ems watch that he attempted to give
the woman, when arrested In Cincin-
natl. Stevens recovered his watch
and had it with him yesterday in Sc
dalia.
"Three out of five are locked up, l"
said Stevens to BAzoo reporter yes
terday, and continuing he said i: eff
the five fellows had been arrested in
Kansas City, no doubt all
of the articles stolen in Sc
dalia during the fair would have
been found on them, or in fence
houses. The chain and the locket-
charm, on the watch at the time that
Moran committed the theft, we're
never recovered by Stevens.
Mr.. Stevens is loud in the praise of
the people at Sichers. for their assist
ance to him, also to the police authori-
ties in Kansas City, Chicago, Indian.
apolis and Cincinnati for their un-
firing vigilance and the zeal exhibit
ed in bringing the crooks to justice. One
strange feature of this whole trans
action is that Mr.. Stevens recovered
his watch In the city where he resid-
ed when it was stolen half a thous-
and miles aWay.

A Splendid Rain.

The best rain Sedalia has had for two
months, fell about 5 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. 1t was of short duration,
but while it lasted more water came
down than at any time during the
period stated. Nothing does the peo-
pie more good, apparently, than big
rain, especially after the country has
been besieged by such a drouth, as
this season has been encountered with.
Some of our citizens reached that state
of happiness, that they plunged into
it without an umbrella, that they
might enjoy once more, its invigorat--
ing qualities.

Have Signed a Contract.

1t will be remembered that some
time last spring contract was signed
by the merchants of this city with
view o: keeping their business houses
cloeed after 6 o'clock p. M, for at
least three months. Recently there
have been some signs of breaking over
the contract by one or two of
those who signed it and the
result is that six of the
prominent dry goods..merchants have
signed a contract for one year in
which it is agreed to close promptly
at 6 o'clock. These merchants have
the interest of their employees at heart
and know BY actual trial that they Sc
cure better service by thus permitting
them to have their evenings to them
selves and they should have the sim
cere commentators of not only their
employees, but of the public generally
for their practical humanity.

Another Story.

A few days ago the BAzoO publish
ed an account of William Madison
colored, who claimed that one Mr..
Mediation had stolen his horse.
The BAzoo learns that the horse did
not belong to the negro, but he had
purchased the animal of Mr.. Palmer,
and he was to be his, when he paid for
him. He had paid some on the horse,
and he had told Mediation they own
ed the horse jointly and for him to
ride him wherever he pleased.
Mr.. Palmer says that Mediation
has not, in his opinion, stolen the
horse, and that he bears a good repu'
tation in his part of the country, where
he has resided for several years.
Nothing has been heard from McHat-
ton.
